What are Grimoires, and how to find them in Warhammer 40k Darktide?

When Players explore certain maps that include the side objectives of finding Grimoires in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, they can find strange books called Grimoires that take away some of their Wounds. But what Grimoires are and why they remove health or Wounds is unclear to most players. Luckily it's not hard to understand Grimoires and how to find them in Warhammer 40k Darktide, and this guide will go over everything you need to know about Grimoires.

What are Grimoires in Warhammer 40k Darktide?

Grimoires are special books that are a carry-over feature from the developers of Darktide's previous game, Vermintide 1-2. The books called Grimoires function similarly in Darktide, whereas gathering all Grimoires that spawn on a map will grant special rewards at the end of a mission. Picking up Grimoires will also give disadvantages that reduce all players' health by 25 percent. Grabbing Grimoires will also prevent you from picking up certain health and ammo items. Because of the disadvantages, we recommend first preparing and communicating with your squad before you pick grimoires up. There is also a max of two Grimoires that you must pick up to gain rewards from the special objective at the end of the mission. Picking up both Grimoires will reduce your team's total health by 50 percent, making communication essential if you want to make it to the end of the mission.
